People Will Defend Christianity Like "but It's Comforting To Me!" Like But You Believing I Will Go To

working in customer service makes you really see how small the microagressions towards women can be. i usually pick up takeout calls, and the first thing i notice is a man’s tone of voice.

why do you sound so condescending the moment you realize i am a woman?

why am i a “stupid bitch” the moment i tell you that our restaurant is not doing takeout at the moment?

why is the only way to deescalate a conflict getting my male coworker on the phone?

Christians, or far-right zealots?

Even if transgender people were all just delusional and mentally ill people who refused to accept scientific reality, they'd still deserve to be 100% accepted.

God isn't a scientific reality, but people who believe in God are accepted. They're even allowed to force their beliefs on children. Many even use their God as an excuse to hate. They frequently teach children that anyone who doesn't worship them goes to hell. Religious people are also regularly caught sexually abusing children.

Meanwhile, transgender people just want to exist and not be bullied for it. If you can accept religious people whose beliefs are much more farfetched, then you can easily accept transgender people. You're choosing not to.

i feel like having religious trauma from mormonism is so fucking lame. like at least other branches of christianity have cool imagery like rosaries and stained glass windows. wtf am i supposed to romanticize, Joseph Smith? Family home evening? That one very specific painting of Jesus that every mormon knows?

All religions can’t be right.

But they can all be wrong.

Satan is no more real than the gods they worship - and more

Christians being totally normal about their religion

Just saw another "if you hurt people because of your faith you don't really have any faith" post, and wanted to point out once again that this weird thing we do where we pretend that "real" religion is incapable of doing harm isn't doing us any favors. Of course people with "real" faith can hurt people! Christians beat their queer kids because they have real faith that being queer gets you tortured forever after you die, and that beating kids is a 100% god-approved activity! India's beef vigilantes kill their Muslim neighbors because they have real faith that cows are sacred animals that shouldn't be killed!

Stop this No True Scotsman shit! All it does is cede the moral high ground in every situation to religious belief, automatically agreeing that religion makes you a better person, and anything that makes you a worse person can't be religion.

some westerners will be calling christianity a colonizer religion and it’s treatment of non believers,women,queer folks,and poc while making excuses towards islam
